Ethnic Differences in Exercise among Adults with Diabetes

Felecia G. Wood

University of Alabama, Capstone College of Nursing, Tuscaloosa, Alabama

The purposes of this secondary analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III Household Adult Data File (1988-1994) were to describe and compare exercise practices and preferences of adult Caucasians, African Americans, and Hispanics with diabetes and to relate that information to diabetes treatment modalities. The research questions were: (a) What proportion of ethnically diverse adults with diabetes do and do not exercise? (b) What are the preferred types of exercise by ethnicity, gender, and age? and (c) What are the relationships among exercise participation, exercise preference, and treatment of diabetes by ethnic group? More than one third of the total sample reported no exercise within the last month. There were no significant differences in amount of exercise by ethnic group. Gardening and walking were the preferred forms of exercise across age, gender, ethnicity, and treatment.
